At Leading Edge Chiropractic, we support patients experiencing whiplash and auto accident injuries with precise Gonstead chiropractic care tailored to individual needs. Located in Holmen, WI, our approach emphasizes detailed spinal analysis to address post-accident neck and spine symptoms like stiffness or whiplash.
Understanding Whiplash & Auto Injuries
Whiplash and auto accident injuries occur when a sudden impact forces the neck and spine beyond their normal range of motion – often causing damage that doesn’t fully surface until hours or days after the collision. At Leading Edge, Dr. Katie and Dr. Chad evaluate the cervical spine and surrounding structures thoroughly to identify what was injured and get care started before compensation patterns set in.
- Neck pain and stiffness following impact
- Headaches originating at the base of the skull
- Upper back and shoulder tension
- Limited range of motion when turning the head
- Symptoms that appear or worsen after the accident
Gonstead Approach to Whiplash
The Gonstead System gives Dr. Katie and Dr. Chad the tools to identify exactly which cervical and spinal levels were affected by the impact – not just where it hurts. For recent injuries, adjustments are gentle and precise, addressing the structural cause of symptoms without adding stress to already irritated tissue.
- Detailed cervical analysis to identify affected spinal levels
- Visualization and motion palpation for joint and ligament involvement
- Instrumentation to detect thermal and neurological patterns
- Gentle, precise adjustments appropriate for acute injuries
- Full spine assessment to catch compensation patterns early
